Re: Ooma Scout's honor

Maybe I'm slow but I don't understand how they can terminate a call to a pstn number without somehow putting the call on the pstn network and paying somebody to terminate the call.

I can understand how they can call each other's "Ooma" box. that's not a big deal. Lots of voip providers do that. The PC World article referenced says

"That Ooma box then routes the call to its destination phone using the local operator's land line network. This doesn't affect the owner of that box in the least; he can still place and receive calls normally."


What are they going to do, use the owner's pstn phone line to terminate the call? Doesn't that make the phone line busy for someone trying to call that didn't buy the $400 box?

A Wall Street Journal columnist, Walt Mossberg, also had an article today about the deal.
